Tata Sierra ICE Launch Now Slated for Early 2026

The much-awaited Tata Sierra lifestyle SUV will finally go on sale by October 2025, during festive season. However, the electric model will first arrive in our market. The ICE-powered Sierra will be launched before the end of this financial year, in the first quarter of 2026. 

Tata Sierra ICE - Specifications

The ICE version of the Sierra will be offered with both petrol and diesel fuel options. The company is working on a new 1.5-litre, 4-cylinder, naturally-aspirated petrol engine, which will act as an entry-level powertrain. This engine will power multiple Tata models in near future. 

The SUV will also get a new 1.5-litre, 4-cylinder, turbocharged petrol engine that produces 170hp and 280Nm of torque. This engine will join the line-up at a later stage, as Tata is facing some issues in the development of this new engine. 

The diesel version is most likely to get a 2.0-litre, 4-cylinder, turbo unit that powers the Harrier and Safari. In the current form, this engine produces 170hp and 350Nm of torque. Tata Motors has acquired the license to modify the new turbo diesel engine. And, a differently tuned version of this engine could be offered with the Sierra. The entry-level variants could also get the 1.5-litre turbo diesel unit that powers the Tata Nexon and Curvv SUV Coupe.
